6-18-2019: Veterans Ceremony at the New Amphitheater on the Pickaway County Fairgrounds
6-18-2019: Veterans Ceremony at the New Amphitheater on the Pickaway County Fairgrounds
The band had another unique experience today.
With the major renovation to the Pickaway County Fairgrounds that started just after the 2018 Pickaway County Fair, the new design of the grounds included an amphitheater on the hillside just in front of the Grandstand.
It turned out to be a wonderful facility, and already several events have been held there during the 2019 Pickaway County Fair
Today, the Circleville Pumpkin Show Community Band had its first opportunity to see the amphitheater up close and personal as it was asked to participate in the "Veterans Ceremony", where the focus was on showing the Vietnam era veterans the recognition they should have received years earlier.
It was a wonderful ceremony, many veterans were in attendance, and it is clear that this new amphitheater will be a major resource to the fairgrounds and to the Circleville community!

8-4-2019: Ashville Gazebo Concert Series:
The band was very honored to be a part of the 2019 Ashville Gazebo Concert Series.
When you think of summer band concerts, this is the mental image you probably get:
And that is EXACTLY what happened today!
Summertime in Ohio is the greatest!
8-4-2019: Ashville Gazebo Concert Series:
The band was very honored to be a part of the 2019 Ashville Gazebo Concert Series.
When you think of summer band concerts, this is the mental image you probably get:
- The local community band, many of the members of which some in the audience know personally and shout out greetings to,
- Everyone is in the town park on a summer, Sunday evening,
- The large audience is filling every available park bench, but most are sitting on the lawn chairs they brought of almost every imaginable shape, size, color, and style,
- The audience is scattered throughout the park sitting underneath the opportune and generous shade of several rather large, old, trees...but ALWAYS sitting close enough to hear the band,
- People are mingling through the audience offering FREE root beer floats, ( Well OK... I think of FREE Root Beer Floats at band concerts, anyway!)
- And you can listen to the band playing many of their latest additions to their band library...but the band ALWAYS includes some classic marches to get toes tapping!
And that is EXACTLY what happened today!
Summertime in Ohio is the greatest!

8-25-2019 Laurelville Trinity UM Church:
For several years, the band has been asked to play a concert at the Laurelville Trinity UM Church.
The church members are wonderful hosts, the concert is open to the public and held in the back parking lot, and as a couple of the following pictures will show, the area is totally picturesque with both the church building and the band framed against the beautiful, wooded, hills we have here in Southern Ohio.
What a night for a band concert!

2019 Circleville Pumpkin Show:
Since the band was started in 1979, that makes 2019 the 41st time that they would have played at the Pumpkin Show.
Always happy to be playing in front of friends and family, the band has another aggressive schedule of 4 concerts and 2 parades over 4 days.
However, that is definitely NOT the end of the story.
Many of these musicians also play in other groups throughout the run of the Pumpkin Show, or serve in other non-music related roles.
In fact, we think that (unofficially) the record goes to a group of band members who have done as many as 6 concerts and 4 parades with three different bands during the course of the 4 and a half days at the Circleville Pumpkin Show!

Tuesday 10-15-2019 at Pumpkin Show Park:
For the Tuesday concert, the band played at the Pumpkin Show Park on North Court Street.
It is a beautiful place to have a concert, a great addition to the Pumpkin Show performance venues, and this year there is a colorful new mural on the north side of the park.

Wednesday 10-16-2019:
Today the band did a concert at 6:00 AND the parade at 8:00.
The concert was in the back of a building on East Franklin Street owned by Director Winner.
After the elimination of the Visitor's Pavilion from the Pumpkin Show, he graciously allowed the band, and some other performers, the use of his space in order to still have a wonderful, indoor place to allow them to perform for their friends, neighbors, and visitors to the Pumpkin Show.
If only his building was closer to my favorite food booths!
